Difficulties mastered are opportunities won. - Winston Churchill
It didn't take the doctors long to decide to send Bob home, and tonight, after a long day of preparing the house and going through all the discharge procedures, we were all home together: Maggie, Bob, Meganne, Matt, Jenny, and I. We had a nice family dinner, with toasts and laughs.
Tomorrow, I will be heading back to Seattle, but a new phase will begin for the family, filled with an overwhelming new set of challenges: bringing in home care nurses; making trips to Stanford for additional tests and chemo; scheduling physical, occupational and speech therapy at home; and managing medications, nutrition & daily activities. Maggie sends her gratitude to all of you who have called, written, helped out, visited, and kept Bob in your thoughts and prayers. Your support, near and far, have sustained us all.
Tonight. we're beyond exhausted, but so happy that Bob is finally in his own bed, where he is presently sleeping soundly.
